  • Abstract
    The use of a p-type anode in a planar GaAs Gunn device was studied for the first time. The undesirable decrease of current for dc bias, compared with pulsed bias, is eliminated by hole injection to the overcritically doped n-layer from a p-n junction anode. These devices have exhibited satisfactory Gunn domain operation for triggered dc operation.
